Resizing image in photoshop

Hello,
I'm new to photoshop and trying to resize an image  to become 1080 x 1020 at 72 lpi. Original size is 2173 x 1634 at 300. (Asset is for viewing only)
First, I went into "Image Size" dialog box, checked "Resample Image" and unchecked "Constrain Proportions". By doing so, I was able to changed the pixel dimensions to 1080 x 1020 but distorted the image and when I changed the lpi to 72, the pixel reduced further down.
How do I go about resizing an image without distorting image and retain the desired specs: 1080 x 1020 at 72 lpi.
Thanks,
Suta

With the image open in Photoshop, it's dpi would affect:
1) Text size if you have Type set at Pixels or Points in preferences, (which is why it is not a bad idea to set it to Pixels so you'll have some idea of how big text will apear in your images).
2) Grid density (Ctrl/Command ').   When I want to change the grid density, I generally open the Image size dialogue box; turn of resample, and change the DPI.  But I find I don't need to do that so often since setting both Print and Screen dpi to 300dpi in the New Document preferences.
3) How big it will print.  I once took in three full res images to be be made into canvas prints and gave the sho a size.   When I collected them only one was at the size I'd asked for, and the other two were much smaller because he'd gone by the DPI and print size.  I was not happy!
Other than the above three things, (and any other that I can't think of)  pixels are pixels and dpi only affects how thickly or thinly they are spread throughout your image.

  • Resizing Images with Photoshop programatically (SDK) ?

    Hello,
    We have more 100,000+ master images that must be resized down programatically (over a nightly batch job).  We are losing photoquality when resizing these images (JPEGs).  However, when I resize these images in Photoshop, it produces very high quality images.
    This needs to be done programatically, is there an option to buy an SDK from Adobe where we can programatically resize these images on the fly?
    Basically, we need to use the same mechanism that photoshop uses to resize images, because it does a wonderful job of preserving the image quality, but we need programatic  access to it.
    Thanks,
    Raman

    The SDK is free, and downloadable by anyone.
    But it sounds like all you need is an action and the batch command, or a javascript -- which don't require the SDK.
    But these are not libraries - they use the Photoshop application.
    There are no libraries to do what Photoshop does.

    A process can be automated in Photoshop in different ways using one of Photoshop batching feature ther are more then one and it  can be done by other image processing programs. However in all cases  your image files will need to to opened decoded into an image processed to produce the images files you want and output files saved.
    It not possible to give you a step by step for you left out much needed infomation. Like will all files being process have the same aspect ratio and if its the same aspect ratio as your desired passport images. Passport images should not be distorted. If Aspect ratios differ will a centered crop be OK. etc

  • Can't resize images in Photoshop CS5

    I was working in Photoshop CS5 creating a flyer when suddenly I wasn't able to resize any images.  I was adding images into the flyer fine for a while, but then when I clicked on an image to resize it there were no handles and I couldn't resize.  I've closed the program & restarted, closed the file & re-opened but nothing helps.  HELP.

    Maybe you accidentally disabled Show Transform Controls in Move Tool options.

  • How to resize images in Photoshop Elements so that they cover the screen on a widescreen tv?

    I'm having difficulty resizing my photos in landscape
    view so that they cover the entire screen on our
    widescreen tv.  Also, how to do them as batch
    files.  I have Photoshop Elements 9.0.
    Thank you.

    The picture has to be the right pixel size.  If your camera can't take a wide screen picture then you have to crop each picture to the proper pixel size.  What I do is crop with no restrictions.  Make the width 8.348 inches and the height 4.696 inches and resolution 300.  After croping your picture will be 1920 x 1080 pixels.  You can now adjust to whatever size picture you want.  If you do some investigating on the internet you can probably find various sites that tell you what pixel dimensions for any size picture.  And also for inch dimensions.    I hope this helps.

  • How do I resize an image in Photoshop CS2?

    Hi! I'm trying to resize an image in Photoshop Cs2 with OUT making it grainy or blurred. Please help!? I know there's some key you can hold down while dragging with the mouse but eh I forgot it! o_0 please help!

    Jody...
    If you have a vector version of the logo, the smartest thing is to resize it as vectors to the size you want, and
    then
    rasterize it.
    Case in point:
    I was trying to make a 16px × 16px favicon for my blogspot site, and the only way I could get the details to appear nice and clean was to create the entire thing from shape layers, transform them all in one go to fit inside a 16px × 16px box I defined using guidelines, and THEN rasterize it using the Save For Web dialogue.

  • When I have resized and saved an image in Photoshop (CS, version 8.0 for Mac) using image size, why is it so large when I open it in preview or another image viewer? Has it actually saved according to the size I specified?

    When I have resized and saved an image in Photoshop (CS, version 8.0 for Mac) using image size, why is it so large when I open it in preview or another image viewer? Has it actually saved according to the size I specified?

    You want to view the image at the Print Size, which represents the size that shows in the Image>Resize Dialog.
    View>Print Size
    Since screen resolution is almost always lower that the print resolution (somewhere between 72 and 96 usually), images will always look bigger on the screen, unless you view them at print size.
    (apple Retina displays have a much higher resolution than normal screens, closer to the average print size resolution)

  • CS3(AS) Open selected image in photoshop/resize/relink

    Hello,
    I'm working on a layout with hundreds of placed images. I only need to resize a select few to so they are placed at 100%, I want to do this by running a script on just the image selected in layout, open it in photoshop, resize to match the scaling in Indesign and then relink. I've started a script that I hope is getting close. The image opens in photoshop but then wont resize(maybe I should post this in the photoshop scripting forum as well). And then I need it to relink back in InDesign.
    Here is what I have started:
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
    set theSelection to item 1 of selection
    set theClass to class of theSelection
    if theClass is in {image, PDF} then
    set theSelection to parent of theSelection
    end if
    set myHoriz to absolute horizontal scale of theSelection
    set myVert to absolute vertical scale of theSelection
    set theFilePathOfImage to file path of item link of graphic 1 of theSelection
    tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS3"
    activate
    open alias theFilePathOfImage
    set docRef to current document
    resize image docRef width (myHoriz as percent) height (myVert as percent) resample method bicubic sharper
    end tell
    set theSelection to update theSelection
    end tell

    Richard,
    What I did when faced with a similar situation was to go to Control Panel, and select Add or Remove Programs, then select Uninstall or Change for Adobe Photoshop CS2, then when prompted whether to Uninstall or Repair, choose Repair. This will fixup all the registry entries that appare to be missing from your system.
    Works for me at least.

  • Resizing and placing images CS6 Photoshop

    Hi -
    I am having trouble, just recently, placing and resizing image layers. The option to "place" an image from the file menu is no longer available and instead there are two - "Place Embedded" and "Place Linked". However, the images are not resizable after you size them initially. After that you can only access the sizing through the drop down menu at the top of the screen. Before I had the ability to select the layer and the corner points to resize use to come up. Have there been changes at all to CS6?
    Also, I had my file window close down when trying to select new image files to place and has never done that before.
    Running a new 15" MacBook Pro. 
    Thanks,
    Bryan

    From what I saw of the video it was not showing the whole story the broken link part of the story was missing. How it works and what can be done if you can not resolve the broken link.
    Where some have a use for Place linked I prefer to have embedded objects. For I want collages that may use the same original images to be independent from each other. Fortunately while the old interface menu File>Place no longer exists. Old scriptlistener code for  menu File>Place still places in images in Photoshop CC 14.2 and they seem to be embedded smart objects for opening the smart object with a double click winds up opening files copied by Photoshop in the user ID local temp space. So my old collage populating scripts still work. So I do not need to add code toe test if the users is using Photoshop CC 14.2 or newer and have two place versions  menu File>Place and menu File Place Embedded....

  • Does Photoshop CS6 autosharpen resized images?

    Hi all,
    I've been using Photoshop for my Photography for quite a long time and I have recently upgraded to Photoshop CS6. Whenever I resize my images in CS6, I get the feel (from looking at the images) that the application has autosharpened my images! I am quite sure about that effect because my resizing principles have remained the same since using CS5. And in CS5, whenever I resized to that same size I am resizing in CS6, I used to run the Unsharp Mask Filter to get my images look at their best! So there must be something going under the hood in CS6, or am I missing something obvious? Basically, I want to be in total control as to how much sharpness I want to apply to my resized images!!
    regards,
    Ali

    In fact Adobe added the new interpolation method Bicubic Automatic new in CS6  and Adobe change Adobe's default Photoshop's Interpolation preference setting to the new method.  However Adobe did not do a good job adding the new feature.  If you leave Photoshop Preference set to Bicubic Automatic you may run into problems if you use scripts that transform things. For if the script tries to retrieve,  change and restore your Photoshop Interpolation method Photoshop will wind up with an internal error.    There are many bugs in CS6 this is one Adobe has not address yet.
    Bicubic Sharper may work well on large un-sharpened soft images.  It does not work well on images that have been sharpened.
    Adobe scripts like the Fit Image Plug-in always uses Bicubic interpolation.   Layer Transforms prior to CS6 always used Photoshop Preference Interpolation method.  That is why the script I write retrieve this setting change it to Bicubic ,  transform then restore the Preference.   CS6 now let the user set the interpolation method for some forms of layer transforms not all.

  • Resize images - Photoshop Elements 4

    Is it possible to automatically resize "multiple" photos in Photoshop Elements 4 to 720 x 480 pixels, so that when the resized images are transferred to Premier Elements 2 and then burned onto a DVD the whole image(s) are seen on a TV screen?
    Quite often I have found that I must manually resize the images so they fit into the safe margins but this can be a tedious process if there are a lot of photos.
    Thank you.

  • Why does Flash resize images coppied from Photoshop?

    Hi Everyone,
    I have images in photoshop that are exactly 700 X 298 pixels.
    However, when I copy and paste them into Flash, Flash actually
    changes the dimmensions to 700.1 X 297.6.
    I don't understand. I have all my Flash compression set to
    100% and best, 32 Bit, etc. Do you know why this happening?
    Thanks :)

    copy and paste is never the best option between programs -
    try File > Import. What's the dpi?

  • Photoshop will not resize images

    As of today, PSE will not resize images for me.  I typically use PSE for this function and am familiar with it.
    I thought it might have been the windows update that occurred last night, so I restored my system earlier, but it does not help.  I still can't resize images.  Any thoughts?  Thanks.

    Operating system?
    PSE version?
    What are the exact steps you're doing?
    What are the details of what's happening when you try?

  • How can i make a photo that is 10 x 6.6 to 10 x 8 without changing the image in Photoshop CS3?

    How can I make a photo that is 10 x 6.6 to 10 x 8 without changing the image in Photoshop CS3?

    I could be snarky and say change the image in a different version of Photoshop, but NO...
    The only way to make a photo that is one size into another size is to change the image.  You have a few choices about how to change it:
    One way is to simply expand the height from 6.6 to 8 inches using Image>Canvas Size, using the default setting of having the image centered and leaving the background either black or white, your preference.  This will add background color to the top and bottom of your image.  This won't change the image itself, but it will change its surroundings.
    Another way is to resize the image using Image>Image Size, entering the new dimensions after turning off the aspect ratio lock (resample on).  This will stretch the image vertically, however, so it's probably not a good option.
    Finally, you could resize the image using Image>Image Size, leaving the aspect ratio lock on and resample on, and increase the height from 6.6 to 8.  This will have the secondary effect of enlarging the width from 10" to a greater width.  Then you crop the resulting image back down to 10" width, which involves losing some edge areas of the image.
